right_n of_o present_v to_o benefice_n which_o depend_v on_o their_o patronage_n it_o may_v be_v doubt_v whether_o bishop_n in_o defect_n of_o these_o patron_n who_o be_v incapable_a of_o present_v

lay-patron_n enjoy_v not_o the_o right_a of_o patronage_n but_o because_o of_o their_o land_n and_o inheritance_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o appearance_n that_o it_o belong_v to_o the_o king_n who_o be_v their_o sovereign_a lord_n to_o supply_v the_o defect_n of_o his_o vassal_n when_o they_o themselves_o can_v exercise_v a_o right_n that_o be_v annex_v to_o their_o fief_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o the_o king_n in_o normandy_n have_v the_o right_a of_o ward_n and_o that_o by_o virtue_n of_o that_o right_n he_o be_v patron_n in_o the_o place_n of_o the_o minor_n who_o have_v

of_o roven_n concern_v the_o cure_n of_o oinville_n which_o be_v in_o huguenot_n patronage_n and_o to_o which_o both_o the_o king_n and_o archbishop_n have_v present_v which_o show_v plain_o enough_o that_o the_o king_n have_v a_o mind_n to_o recover_v his_o right_n have_v refer_v that_o matter_n from_o his_o council_n to_o be_v examine_v in_o the_o great_a council_n after_o all_o the_o patron_n

to_o some_o catholic_n of_o their_o friend_n or_o relation_n and_o so_o they_o remain_v master_n unless_o the_o fraud_n of_o their_o contract_n be_v discover_v but_o let_v we_o now_o come_v to_o ecclesiastical_a patronage_n ecclesiastical_a patronage_n derive_v their_o original_a from_o the_o i._o council_n of_o orange_n patronage_n the_o original_a of_o ecclesiastical_a patronage_n where_o

the_o benefice_n be_v go_v out_o of_o the_o rule_n forty_o year_n possession_n be_v enough_o to_o change_v the_o nature_n of_o benefice_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n the_o monk_n who_o perceive_v that_o

the_o nomination_n to_o benefice_n that_o religious_a and_o regular_a community_n present_a to_o many_o benefice_n in_o quality_n of_o patron_n yet_o there_o be_v great_a difficulty_n to_o know_v to_o who_o that_o right_a of_o patronage_n belong_v since_o the_o establishment_n of_o perpetual_a commendum_n and_o there_o happen_v many_o suit_n upon_o that_o account_n betwixt_o the_o commendatary_a
